Jaguars sign third-round pick Ronnie Harrison

The Jaguars announced the signing of third-round pick Ronnie Harrison.

I’m just excited, Harrison said, via quotes distributed by the team. I’m ready to get out there and show what I can do. I’m blessed to be in this position and am ready to work. I just want to say thank you to my mom and my family and everybody who’s been pushing me.

Harrison appeared in 44 games with 30 starts for the Crimson Tide and made 177 tackles during his three-year career.

In a twist of irony, she — of all people — delivered.

What those numbers showed was a craving for simple respect, a genuine look at a family that had a Trump supporter as one of their own who was not the butt of all the jokes or incessantly mocked.

Critics, meanwhile, were unable to separate Roseanne the person from Roseanne the show.

But on TV, Roseanne is a mouthy, loving working-class mom.

The show’s only controversial moment was the time Roseanne and her husband, Dan, fell asleep in front of the TV, and they started talking about the shows Black-ish and Fresh Off the Boat.

You know at the [NFL owners] meetings I have had different conversations about him, Jones said. At the Competition Committee meeting, some of the coaches there speak to it. I’m sure other coaches have called our coaches and wanted input on him. The greatest thing about Dez is he is a fierce competitor. I think he is now more driven and more competitive than he has ever been. We wish him nothing but the best.

When he’s not bashing Cowboys coach Jason Garrett or campaigning for his Pro Football Hall of Fame bid — which was successful, and he will be part of the 2018 class — Owens has petitioned for his NFL comeback in what seems like an annual tradition. The last time the 44-year-old was under contract was with the Seahawks in 2012, but he was cut after training camp.

Owens had torn his ACL in 2011 but rehabbed and held a televised workout that fall, which no NFL teams attended. He went on to play in the Indoor Football League, but was released in May 2012 for what the team’s owner called a lack of effort both on and off the field.

Last month, Owens made headlines while questioning how Garrett still had a job. But the only one still looking for one is Owens.
